Add calendar event with the help of checkbox - google-apps-script

Question

With reference to this question - Not able to create event on Calendar with this script
The Code after all changes:
function onOpen() {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createMenu('⇩ M E N U ⇩')
.addItem('👉 Set up ...', 'myTriggerSetup')
.addToUi();
}
function myTriggerSetup() {
var ssID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId()
if (!isTrigger('onSpeEdit')) {
ScriptApp.newTrigger('onSpeEdit').forSpreadsheet(ssID).onEdit().create();
}
}
function isTrigger(funcName) {
var r = false;
if (funcName) {
var allTriggers = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
var allHandlers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < allTriggers.length; i++) {
allHandlers.push(allTriggers[i].getHandlerFunction());
}
if (allHandlers.indexOf(funcName) > -1) {
r = true;
}
}
return r;
}
function onSpeEdit(e) {
var rg = e.range;
if (rg.getRow() == 57 && rg.isChecked() && rg.getSheet().getName() === "Course") {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Course');
var start = new Date(spreadsheet.getRange('U70').getValue()).getTime();
var end = new Date(spreadsheet.getRange('X69').getValue()).getTime();
var name = spreadsheet.getRange('U69').getValue()
var calend = CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar();
calend.createEvent(name, new Date(start), new Date(end));
rg.uncheck();
}
}
My Requirement:
A user will fill all 3 cells for event details. Then, they will tick on checkbox and the event should get added and also checkbox should get untick. Then, another user will do the same process again.
My Issues:
It is working in the dummy sheet but not in main sheet.My above code is as per main sheet.
Dummy Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_f_dujqIvmkXXLAqyandEmrWOxgskIfk9KTSKw28UuA/edit#gid=0
Thank you:
Thank you, Mike and Tanaike for the amazing efforts to help me.

Try this
function onOpen() {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createMenu('⇩ M E N U ⇩')
.addItem('👉 Set up ...', 'myTriggerSetup')
.addToUi();
}
function myTriggerSetup() {
var ssID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId()
if (!isTrigger('onSpeEdit')) {
ScriptApp.newTrigger('onSpeEdit').forSpreadsheet(ssID).onEdit().create();
}
}
function isTrigger(funcName) {
var r = false;
if (funcName) {
var allTriggers = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
var allHandlers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < allTriggers.length; i++) {
allHandlers.push(allTriggers[i].getHandlerFunction());
}
if (allHandlers.indexOf(funcName) > -1) {
r = true;
}
}
return r;
}
function onSpeEdit(e) {
var rg = e.range;
if (rg.getRow() == 4 && rg.isChecked() && rg.getSheet().getName() === "Course") {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Course');
var start = new Date(rg.offset(-2,0).getValue()).getTime();
var end = new Date(rg.offset(-1,0).getValue()).getTime();
var name = rg.offset(-3,0).getValue();
var calend = CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar();
calend.createEvent(name, new Date(start), new Date(end));
rg.uncheck();
}
}

1. Rename your function name as follows.
In this case, you can also use the other function names except for onEdit. About the reason of this, you can see it at this thread.
function installedOnEdit(e){
var rg = e.range;
if(rg.getA1Notation() === "Z56" && rg.isChecked() && rg.getSheet().getName() === "Course"){
calendar(); //calling calendar function
rg.uncheck()
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Course').getRange('X57').setValue('Event has been added to your Calendar')//Putting message in cell x57;
}
}
2. Install the installable OnEdit trigger to the renamed function.
You can see how to manually install this at the official document.
If you are required to use a script, you can also the following script.
function installTrigger() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
ScriptApp.newTrigger("installedOnEdit").forSpreadsheet(ss).onEdit().create();
}
By this flow, installedOnEdit is run by the installable OnEdit trigger. When you use this, please check the checkbox. By this, installedOnEdit is run and CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar() is run.
Note:
In this case, it supposes that your calendar() and the if statement in onEdit works fine. Please be careful this.
Reference:
Installable Triggers
Added:
I saw your provided sample Spreadsheet. When I saw it, the values of "Name", "Start Date", "End Date", "Add to Calendar" are the cells "B1:B4". But in your script, those values are not used. I think that your new issue is due to this. Please modify your script using your sample Spreadsheet as follows.
Modified script:
function calendar() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Course');
var start = new Date(spreadsheet.getRange('B2').getValue()).getTime();
var end = new Date(spreadsheet.getRange('B3').getValue()).getTime();
var name = spreadsheet.getRange('B1').getValue()
var calend = CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar();
calend.createEvent(name, new Date(start), new Date(end));
}
function installedOnEdit(e) {
var rg = e.range;
if (rg.getA1Notation() === "B4" && rg.isChecked() && rg.getSheet().getName() === "Course") {
calendar(); //calling calendar function
rg.uncheck();
}
}
function installTrigger() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
ScriptApp.newTrigger("installedOnEdit").forSpreadsheet(ss).onEdit().create();
}
In this case, when the installable OnEdit trigger is installed by installTrigger(), when the checkbox of cell "B4" is checked, the event is created.
